Chapter 235: The Scythe of Death
The two Skeleton Masters managed to find the ancient fortress and successfully entered the interior according to the experience of their predecessors, but they could not break through the maze in the corridor. When they found out that Li Ling and Qicai were both interested in the Ancient Wasteland, the two masters quietly lured them here, trying to use their strength to break through this fortress.
"We only need two of them," the short master whispered, looking at Li Ling with a somewhat uneasy gaze.
"You're enough, these are my collections, have you asked me? There are only five in total, and you want two? It's too much!"
Seeing that his hard work was about to be divided, Wang Fang broke out in an instant.
Although Wang Fang was very unconvinced that the Skeleton Juggernaut had taken away all his best collections, he could only endure it because of Li Ling's silence.
They only took two sickles but didn't think anything wrong about those alchemy potions and spars, and they didn't make any counterattack to Wang Fang's complaints, and after hurriedly greeting Li Ling, they went back to the Land of Bones to study the weapon they had just gotten.
"It's a shame that such a good weapon let them take two for nothing!".
"Don't be so stingy, the rest of the three are all for you. ”
Li Ling raised his hand and rewarded Qicai with a violent chestnut, I really don't know how she has such a strong possessiveness in a girl's family.
"I said Wang Fang, you also claim to be an S-level great alchemist, how can you just rely on this treasure, you can't just rely on these spars to make products!"
"That's not, it's just on the surface for people to see, except for those few sickles, the rest are not very valuable, and it's nothing for people to search for them all!"
"What about something else?"
Wang Fang glanced at Li Ling. After receiving a nod of his approval, he walked straight to the center of the stone wall at the back of the room, and after a few taps in different places, a palm-sized wall flipped over. Revealing a password verification system, he quickly typed in a series of symbols, and a half-meter-wide path cracked in the center of the wall.
Colorful preemptively entered the dark compartment to open all the boxes inside, and then checked the contents one by one.
When Li Ling came in, he found that it was all some refining tools or alchemy materials, and gold essence, dense silver, Xuanyin grass, and hundred-year-old Lingzhi were placed in the box in a disorderly manner.
'This is where my self stores my materials, and if the master likes something, take it!'
"Don't you have a space container with you, why don't you take them with you, wouldn't it be better?"
"You don't know. Because of the restraint of spiritual power, a person can only use one space equipment, and although I have some materials for refining space rings, I can only refine a space of ten cubic meters in size, so"
As a top-level alchemist, Wang Fang felt a little ashamed that he didn't have a suitable spatial equipment, but what he didn't know was that the current spatial ring was already excellent, even if it was a ring of one or two cubes, it was hard to find.
Seeing so many refining talents, Li Ling also had the idea of refining a flying sword for himself for the first time, although he couldn't rely on the flying sword to fly through the sky now, but it was very convenient to be with others. After all, you can't expose the Purple Phoenix Sword casually.
Raising the furnace fire, he hurriedly put his carefully selected materials iron essence, heptene essence and a small amount of big flame sand head like Dingzhong, iron essence is a common refining material, Geng essence can make the flying sword sharper, and adding a little big fire sand can make it have fire attributes, so that it can fit his own physique.
Carefully control the fire and wait until the sword embryo is formed. He also tried to carve a formation on the flying sword, first of all, a spirit gathering array. Then there was a basic defensive formation, but when he wanted to carve the offensive formation of the Dutian Flame Array into it, an accident happened, and he couldn't fully portray the formation.
After pondering deeply, he decided that his mental power was too weak to carve the three formations on the flying sword, so he decided to rerefine and only keep the Spirit Gathering Array and the Dutian Fire Array. After several experiments, Li Ling finally succeeded.
Then he selected materials to refine a small shield for himself, which was mainly defense-oriented, and in this way, Li Ling finally had a magic weapon to use. Although the level is not high, it is enough in this world where there are few cultivators.
Later, he refined several sets of accessories for Ziyue as magic weapons. Considering that she doesn't have true yuan power, most of these ornaments are controlled by spiritual power.
Wang Fang on the side couldn't help but be stunned in surprise when he saw his master's skilled skills and unbelievable forging methods, he had never tried to use so many magic arrays on another artifact in a row.
Legend has it that in ancient times, formations, alchemy, and refining weapons were divided into nine levels, and the first three levels were called apprentices. The middle three levels are called masters, while the last three levels are honored as grandmasters. Li Ling's ability to independently refine a pill and magic weapon, and to be able to completely depict a formation, showed that he had at least begun to enter the path and become a first-level apprentice.
It's just a pity that no civilization can exist forever, those ingenious skills in ancient times have been submerged in the long river of history, alchemists are mechanically divided into A, B, C, D, E, S levels, although S-level alchemists are still admired by the world, but they know that if they were only a master in ancient times, there is still a long way to go on this road.
Seeing his master carving one formation after another with skillful techniques, he seemed to see the reappearance of ancient skills, and he had only one wish to get eternal life, that is, to infinitely improve his alchemy level, and at this moment he saw a glimmer of light that had not been seen for a long time.
"Master, what kind of magic array do you depict on these artifacts? Can you teach me?"
"Why, you won't?" Li Ling thought for a moment and then found a problem: "No, those scythes are much better than mine, how can you not know these basic formation depictions." ”
"I didn't make these scythes, and I wouldn't have thought them like treasures. ”
Seeing Li Ling's puzzled expression, he couldn't help but tell the truth of the matter, and also told the secret he had buried in his heart for nearly 10,000 years.
Ten thousand years ago, the development of human science and technology was extremely rapid, the federal government was frantically looking for planets in the universe that humans could habit, and the progress of space technology also led to the rapid development of alchemy. A large number of alchemical materials have been excavated, and many bold ideas have been proposed.
As an S-class master, Wang Fang was of course also valued by the Federation, and he exchanged his merits in the development of potions and casting for a satellite with an elegant environment. Although it is only a satellite of a planet, it has spring all year round, the temperature is suitable, and it is a good place to live, and he considers himself lucky to be able to work here for a long time in the career he loves.
By chance, he accepted a mission from the federal government that required permanent secrecy. Thinking that it was a difficult task, he did not expect that it would only be a small formation carved on a scythe, and the reward would be amazingly high, and the staff only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the request to use the highest technology at that time to prolong his life.
But he didn't expect that the result of this would actually be to transfer his soul to an intelligent mecha, and later he found that there were many S-class alchemists who were captured by them and taught some strange formations for these people to depict on different artifacts.
That's not all, he also found out by chance that these people are not only restricted from freedom, but are also being gradually cleaned up by a group of unknown forces!
At that time, he thought that he was involved in the struggle between the various forces of the Federation, so he hurriedly contacted a few alchemists, and everyone decided to escape from that planet. Before leaving, Wang Fang took with him a few scythes that had been scrapped due to his own mistakes, and by this time he had already known the real name of this object - the Death Scythe.
Wang Fang, who escaped after a lot of hardships, did not dare to return to his home, but fled directly to the Chaotic Star Sea, and did not expose his traces for thousands of years.
"Who were the people who gave you the task in the first place?"
After the story ended, Li Ling finally couldn't help but raise his own questions, and his intuition told him that there must be a conspiracy here, although he still didn't know what the purpose of these people was.
"Don't ask, let him pass, I hope these people have forgotten my existence. ”
"Okay, whatever you want, you haven't been in contact with anyone else in all these years?"
"Not at all. ”
Seeing that the master was not asking him about those people, Wang Fang's heart finally relaxed. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly heard an alarm, and he knew that someone must have entered the castle again. And when he saw the faces of the people who came, he was relieved, these people were his old friends. This group of biological Homo sapiens came to him only for one purpose, and they wanted to refine the elixir for these people again. (To be continued......)
